Supporters of Joe Biden defending his questionable phone calls appear absurd.
Joe Biden’s Secret Weather Conversations
Did you know that the Bidens have a hidden passion for meteorology? It’s true! Hunter Biden, in the midst of important business meetings, would often call his dad just to chat about the weather. It seems that Joe’s love for all things climate extended to casual conversations with his son.
According to Hunter’s business partner, Devon Archer, Joe Biden had spoken to Biden Inc. clientele at least 20 times. Daniel Goldman, an entertaining commentator, explained that these conversations often revolved around niceties about the weather. But some speculate that it was Joe’s love for his son that kept them on the phone, especially during the difficult time when Beau Biden was ill and eventually passed away.
However, let’s not be fooled. These pundits think we’re gullible nitwits. If your crack-addicted son puts you on speaker phone with executives from a company under investigation, and you’re supposed to be fighting corruption in that country, you hang up and call him back later. Hunter Biden, with his 13 burner phones, was certainly not difficult to reach.
Some news outlets tried to downplay the significance of these conversations, claiming that Joe Biden never talked shop. But the evidence suggests otherwise. Burisma executives and Hunter called ”D.C.” about the problem of prosecutor Viktor Shokin, and soon after, something happened by complete happenstance. The “illusion of access” narrative makes it seem like Joe was an innocent dad caught up in his family’s shady dealings, but the mounting circumstantial evidence suggests otherwise.
Even CNN’s Dana Bash admitted that these relationships operate in gray areas intentionally. When you’re related to a famous or powerful person, you want your clients to know that you have influence. And in this case, there was no business without Joe. If Joe Biden knew about his son’s involvement with Burisma and still used his position to pressure Ukraine, it would be corrupt.
Joe Biden’s years of lying about these phone calls remain unexplained. He has yet to clarify the services his family provided to various foreign entities. No amount of spin or fantastical stories can change the fact that there are serious questions about Joe Biden’s actions.
